Default my compression test results.. need opinions

my compression test results

230
230
210 (makes it to 230 with a few extra cranks)
230

so my question is, is this high, low or normal for a b16a?. i am getting ready to boost the car with a peakboost turbo kit, and just ordered a OEM b16 head gasket.. the sales guys recommended the oem over cometic.. my main question is, is this compression fine for turbo? or should i be getting a little thicker to lower the compression?. i know for a fact the head has been resurfaced, but not sure if it has been milled.. is this normal compression or high?

Seems normal to me. My former stock B16s were usually between 215-230.
